Editing a production BOM
Lines with added objects (components, resources, notes, attachments) can be dragged and repositioned within an operation.
- Objects can be dragged from one operation into another.
- Operations can be dragged and dropped above or below another operation to change the sequence numbering.
Operation values (Operation sequence, Name, Cycle Time, Units per cycle time and Work Centre) can all be edited. Edited values will be applied to Production Orders and Production Runs which have not been completed. Production Runs in progress are not affected. Changing these values will not cause changes in capacity planning or scheduling. You will receive a notification informing which orders are affected.
Editing component/resource quantities, replacing components/resources
Editing component or resource quantities or replacing components and resources causes changes in Production Orders, Production Runs, Capacity Planner and Scheduler.
Re-planning is possible only for Production Orders in Planned status. A user needs to Reload updated BOM into the order to cause re-planning.
Editing the Quantity field causes re-planning of the component/resource. Replacing a resource or component means that this resource or component is deleted from the Production BOM, and a new resource or component is added. In both cases, the following changes are executed:
- Capacity/resource availability is checked to see if the newly added component/resource is available for the Production Order.
- Reversed allocation of the new components/resources is executed and reflected in the corresponding reports (Availability report, Capacity Planner, etc.)
- Production Order operations involving the new and removed resources are re-scheduled.
It is possible to replace the component/resource in already started operations. Changes will affect all operations going forward. Production Runs already in progress will not be affected. We recommend that user checks Scheduler to ensure production deadlines have not been broken for affected orders.
Editing wastage %, wastage quantity and cost
It is not possible to change the cost per unit for components/resources from the Production BOM. Cost per unit should be edited in the corresponding component or resource.
Wastage %, Wastage quantity can be change only for components. Changes in Wastage % or quantity increases/reduces the demand on component allocation: i.e. if wastage is increased - more components should be allocated and vice versa. It is the same process as for changing the quantity of a component.
Deleting components/resources
Deleting of components is the same as for editing. A user should reload BOM to Production Order. However, reloading of BOM (and thus editing BOM) is possible only for Planned orders. Thus, orders in Released or Work in Reversed allocation of the new components/resources is executed and reflected in the corresponding reports (Availability report, Capacity Planner, etc.) You will receive a warning message notifying you which orders are affected.
